Color choices
Brain and spinal cord can begin with warm pinks or soft purples. Color the large brain folds first, then use a deeper shade for the striped lower section and narrow central cord. Choose gold, teal, or blue for the branching nerves, keeping strong contrast where they cross near the cord.
Nerve Branch Color Pattern
Use a repeating color sequence along the branching nerves, then continue the same sequence on each side of the spinal cord.
